CJ Perry, who worked as Lana during her WWE run, is the real-life wife of WWE star Rusev.

Rusev’s Wife CJ Perry Gushes Over JD McDonagh’s Looks

In a recent episode of TMZ Sports’ Inside the Ring podcast, where Perry is a co-host, Judgement Day member Raquel Rodriguez was a guest.

At one point during the conversation, Perry asks Rodriguez if she has any insider, fun stories with any of her factionmates from Judgement Day.

She then mentions JD McDonagh’s name and compliments his good looks.

Like, maybe something about JD, I think he’s so cute.

I love JD, he’s so pretty. His eyes are so beautiful. (9:10 onwards)

Rodriguez continues Perry’s seemingly flirtatious comments by saying that he has great hair and naturally beautiful curls.
